SUPPORT the woody guthrie center

HOME / SUPPORT

Whether you become a member or buy a shirt, you are supporting our mission to promote and perpetuate Woody Guthrie’s life and legacy of justice through the arts. With your help, his message can reach and inspire future change-makers.

Ways to Support

Donations of any size support the center’s educational activities and programs, which are free to all students. Teachers always receive free admission due to the generous support of our donors, who keep our nonprofit center thriving. Help us share Woody’s voice with the public by making a donation in any amount.

Woody Guthrie Center® memberships are a great value and help support programs for the community.

Pay a visit to the center and explore the life and legacy of Woody Guthrie.

All proceeds from the Woody Guthrie Center store fund our mission to inspire people to find their voice in the quest for justice, equity, and equality for all.

The entire Woody Guthrie Center is available for rent, as well as three individual spaces for private events, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, fundraisers, and more.

As part of the American Song Archives, all items are considered for contribution to our collections. Because the center is a nonprofit organization, donations and the generosity of those interested in the mission help actively grow the thriving historical resource holdings.

Support from corporate members and donors provide events, education programs, free teacher admission, and more. Please consider sponsoring a Woody Guthrie Center initiative. As a nonprofit organization, contributions of any size are greatly valued.

Gift certificates are a wonderful way to share the gift of Woody Guthrie Center admission, program/event tickets, and membership. Your gift certificate purchase will:

  • Encourage the exploration of myriad forms of creativity that enrich the world around us.
  • Spread the message of diversity, equality, and social justice.
  • Help preserve the legacy of America’s most enduring and inspiring songwriters.
  • Support on-site programming, classroom materials and youth music programs, artist-in-residence programs, school outreach, internship and fellowship opportunities, and the archives of Woody Guthrie Center and Bob Dylan Center®.


Want to get involved with the Woody Guthrie Center® and Bob Dylan Center®? Join our volunteer crew. The American Song Archives is currently seeking volunteers for a variety of roles. For more information on how you can get involved, please fill out the interest form and we’ll be in touch soon.

Donate

The Woody Guthrie Center® is dedicated to spreading Woody Guthrie’s message of diversity, equality, and justice to a new generation who can create their own ripples of change.

Your donation honors Guthrie’s legacy by allowing us to educate visitors, teachers, students, and scholars about his important role in American history and his relevance today. Gifts of any size directly support on-site programming, classroom materials, youth music programs, school outreach, and much more.
